Atypical Games released dedicated servers in October 2025 as a beta. The server is a separate application, free for PC players who own the game, and it is still being improved with the game’s updates. ### How many players can join? Up to 20 players per server, more than a session hosted from a player’s own game. ### How do my friends join? The server owner shares the server’s session ID with the players they want to invite. ### Can I bring my existing character? No. Every dedicated server needs its own character, and that character’s progress and inventory stay on that server. ### Does the world keep running when the owner is offline? Yes. Players can play while the owner is away, as long as the server is running, and the world keeps evolving in the meantime. ### Which settings can I change? The owner sets the game mode and a password in the server’s settings file. Since January 2026 there are also difficulty settings for damage and crafting costs. ### Can I play the story on a dedicated server? No. Story game modes cannot be started on a dedicated server; an October 2025 update closed that path. Dedicated servers are for the open game. ### Does Cubic Odyssey support mods? The game has had Steam Workshop integration since update 1.2 in November 2025. Ask us before you plan a modded server, because the dedicated server is still in beta. ## Ready to explore the Cubic galaxy?
